In addition to the new car
break-in instructions in this man
ual, it
is recommended that your
new Camaro be operated for
500
miles before trailer towing. If it is
necessary to tow during this period,
avoid speeds over
50 MPH and full
throttle starts. The same precau
tions should be observed whenever
a new engine, transmission
or axle
is installed in your car.
Operation in Foreign Countries
Your Camaro is designed to op
erate on fuel of approximately
91
research octane number or higher,
sold in the United
States and Can
ada.
If you plan to operate your
Camaro outside the continental
limits of the United
States or Can
ada, there
is a possibility that the
best fuels available in some coun
tries are
so low in anti-knock
quality that excessive knocking
and serious engine damage may
result from their
use. To minimize
this possibility, write to Chevrolet
Motor Division, Service Depart- ment,
Detroit, Michigan 48202
(or in Canada write to General
Motors of Canada Limited,
Owner
Relations Department, Oshawa,
Ontario),
giving:
• The vehicle identification num
ber ( on plate on instrument
panel ahead of the steering
wheel and visible through the
windshield, or from registration
slip or title).
• The country or countries in
which you plan to travel.
You
will be furnished informa-
11
tion on the quality of fuels avail
able in the countries in which you
plan to travel.
It is recommended
that you not operate your Camaro
in any country not having fuels
meeting the requirements
of your
Camaro engine. Engine modifica
tions are not available to compen
sate for low anti-knock quality
fuels. Operation of your car under
conditions of continuous
or exces
sive knocking constitutes misuse
of the engine for which the Chev
rolet Division
is not responsible
under the terms of the Chevrolet
New Vehicle Warranty.
